QUESTION & ANSWER WITH GURUDEV
Posted on: Friday, August 23, 2024
Q. What is ‘Vairagya’ (Dispassion)? How do we live in vairagya in this mundane world of attractions?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:
My dear if you don’t have vairagya you can’t even sleep. If you can’t let go, you can’t even sleep. At least when you go to bed don’t you let go? If you don’t let go then you have insomnia. Problem of insomnia when you can’t let go. So to some extent everyone has to let go at some time. Correct. But when consciously you let go that is vairagya. So passion and dispassion are like breathing in and breathing out. You breathe in that is passion and you breathe out that is dispassion and in between there is compassion. Be compassionate on others and compassionate on yourself too.
